The first photos from San Diego Comic-Con 2010 are already starting to come in and this news even surprised The Blot. Hasbro has on display a brand new line of Mini Star Wars Mighty Muggs! These never before seen Star Wars Mini Muggs are marked as exclusives will go on sale October 1, 2010.

UPDATE: Thanks to reader Chris, we now know it was announced at Hasbro's SDCC panel that these Star Wars Mini Mighty Muggs are a Target Exclusive and will be sold as 3-packs for $12.99. Very interesting news!

I’m not exactly sure how tall these Mini Muggs are, but it’s kind of disappointing to learn we’re getting less Muggs for the same price! It looks like there are three assortments of Star Wars Mini Mighty Muggs Wave 1. The first includes a Stormtrooper, Darth Vader and Yoda.

New Brightest Day Action Figures by DC Direct

After the Blackest Night comes the Brightest Day! DC Comics unveiled on its official blog The Source that DC Direct will be in essence continuing its line of Blackest Night action figures with a spin-off, a Brightest Day toy line! If you loved the toys based on last year’s DC Universe spanning event Blackest Night, then you’re really going to love these new figures!

Brightest Day Action Figures Wave 1 & Wave 2 by DC Direct
Starting in March, DC Direct will kick off another series of high-quality and story-specific product, this time based around the hit biweekly series Brightest Day. Included in the toy line’s first two waves are Hawkgirl, Green Arrow, Deadman, Aquaman, Hawkman, Martian Manhunter, Firestorm and Mera.

DC Direct blew me away with last years hugely successful Blackest Night toy line, and The Blot can’t wait to see these new figures. DCD really took their action figures to the next level with Blackest Night, and I’m hoping they continue that upward trend with the Brightest Day line. If I had to say anything negative about this announcement it’s that they didn’t include any of the resurrected villains (Captain Boomerang, Maxwell Lord or Osiris) in the line’s first two waves. All I know is there had better be a Wave 3 which includes Hawk, Dove, Jade and Digger!

Los Angeles De La Muerte Custom Munny Vinyl Figure by Huck Gee

It’s been a few weeks since Huck Gee released a new custom Munny, but his latest figure is pretty awesome looking! Meet Los Angeles De La Muerte, the revered guardians of the Taurenos royal family.

Los Angeles De La Muerte Custom Munny by Huck Gee
The Taurenos monarchy has ruled Naoya 13 for the better part of two centuries. Maintaining their hold on this tumultuous kingdom has been no easy feat, thwarting numerous coup and assassination attempts over the decades. The inner sanctum of House Taurenos' security forces are the well known and revered Los Angeles De La Muerte.

Los Angeles De La Muerte Custom Munny by Huck Gee
These elite troops are hand picked at a very young age, biomechanically enhanced, rewired and groomed into their roles as the sole guardians of the royal family. Linked together, they act as a single unit sharing their data streams. Their sole purpose in life is to protect the royal family. Knowing nothing but loyalty, it's almost chivalrous. Can you think of a more trustworthy and efficient team to guard Queen Taurenos and her family?

Los Angeles De La Muerte Custom Munny by Huck Gee
Huck has created 10 hand painted Los Angeles De La Muerte custom Munny vinyl figures, and will be selling then for $800 each. This set will be distributed to customers on a first come, first serve basis. Anyone interested please email sales@huckgee.com ASAP to reserve your figure and make payment arrangements.

Star Trek “The Trouble With Tribbles” Screen Prints by Olly Moss

Mondo Tees will be continuing its line of screen prints based on episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series with not one, but two new prints by Olly Moss! One of the show’s most identifiable aliens by both Trekkers and the general public alike are the cute, yet deadly, multiplying Tribbles! Moss pays homage to the classic Star Trek episode “The Trouble With Tribbles” in his trademark minimalist style.

Star Trek “The Trouble With Tribbles” Spock Edition Screen Print by Olly Moss
The Blot is really digging both versions of these prints, and I especially like how Moss was able to include the entire crew of the USS Enterprise in both versions (well at least the outline of their heads). There are two versions of Olly’s Star Trek print, a blue Spock Edition and a red Uhura Edition, which also, coincidentally, matches the colors of their Starfleet uniforms.

Star Trek “The Trouble With Tribbles” Uhura Edition Screen Print by Olly Moss
The Star Trek “The Trouble With Tribbles” is an 18”x24” two color screen print by Olly Moss, and will go on sale Friday, July 23rd, at the Mondo Tees online store at a random time. The Spock Edition screen print has a limited edition run size of 350 prints, while the Uhura Edition has a much small run size of only 190 prints. You can find out more about these awesome Star Trek prints here.
